The Everyman Set To Present And Coproduce The World Premiere Of AUTUMN ROYAL
By: BWW News Desk Jan. 10, 2017
A dark, dark comedy, set on the north side of Cork city, Autumn Royal is a play about life and death, love and hate, hysterical dependency, jealousy, rage, horror, and homicidal notions - or, in other words, it's a play about a family.
Kevin Barry is the multi-award winning writer of the novels Beatlebone and City Of Bohane, and the story collections Dark Lies The Island and There Are Little Kingdoms. Autumn Royal is his first piece written originally for the stage. The Everyman is proud to present and coproduce its world premiere, from Monday 30th January - Saturday 4th February.
Early booking is advised. The audience will be seated on the stage so capacity is limited. Tickets available from the Everyman box office, telephone 021 4501 673, or online from www.everymancork.com
